Former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney said she will "never" vote for former President Donald Trump.
Cheney made her comments during a Wednesday appearance on ABC's The View.
The former Wyoming representative expressed her disdain for the former President and suggested President Joe Biden's policies were less of a risk for the Constitution than Trump.
Co-host of The View Joy Behar noted the former congresswoman was a "patriotic American" and posed a "radical question" to Cheney.
"If it came down to Biden v. Trump, would you vote for Biden?” Behar asked.
“I’m not going to endorse anybody today,” Cheney replied. “We don’t know exactly what the choice will be."
"I would say that I will never vote for Donald Trump," Cheney added as the audience erupted with applause.
“There are some conservatives who are trying to make this claim that somehow Biden is a bigger risk than Trump," Cheney continued. "My view is – I disagree with a lot of Joe Biden’s policies."
Cheney said the country could survive "bad policies," to which Behar said Trump was "crazy."
"We cannot survive torching the Constitution," Cheney added. "It’s not even the same level.”
Later in the program, Behar asked what could be done to convince Trump supporters or people "on the fence" of "how dangerous" the former President is.
Cheney said Trump's rhetoric has been "horrible" and suggested Americans were "numb" to the threat posed by Trump.
The former Wyoming representative said Americans had become "accustomed" to relying on the survival of the republic and noted "people on the right" had claimed she was "catastrophizing" and "exaggerating" Trump's threat. Cheney then warned Americans from "sleepwalking into a dictatorship."
"It's not really recognizing and understanding how dangerous it would be ... to have a President who was unwilling to enforce the rulings of the courts," Cheney said. "That's the end of the constitutional republic."
Cheney, who represented Wyoming's single district, lost her re-election primary bid in 2022 to current Wyoming Rep. Harriet Hageman.
Cheney has been an outspoken critic of the former president and many congressional Republicans including Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert.
In a 2022 interview, Cheney said she preferred working with Democratic women in Congress than her fellow Republican colleagues.
“I would much rather serve with Mikie Sherrill and Chrissy Houlahan and Elissa Slotkin than Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, even though on substance certainly I have big disagreements with the Democratic women I just mentioned,” Cheney said. “But they love this country, they do their homework and they are people that are trying to do the right thing for the country.”
